Two types of chorus plus vibrato to add stereo thickness to your sounds

The Strymon Ola is as simple or complex as you make it. Standard controls like Speed, Depth, and Mix will have you dialing in bossy blue LFO chorus like you know from all your favorite records. Flipping down to Multi type engages a 3-phase chorus that pays tribute to famous studio rack chorus effects, without an LFO, for a smooth and natural sound. Finally, flipping down to Vibrato type dials in a rich, warbly, bucket brigade vibrato to add meat to your chords and leads.

Three modes to bring you new sonic textures

The Ola's standard mode reacts as all your classic chorus pedals have before. But two innovative modes, Ramp and Envelope, will have you approaching your material with new tricks up your sleeve. Ramp mode lets you control the onset and release of the effect type by holding down the switch. This allows you to control when the effect takes hold and when it dies off, with a central control to adjust the ramp-up speed. Envelope mode adds faster, thicker chorus or vibrato as you play harder. This can most dramatically be heard when strumming chords, where the effect dies off smoothly with less and slower chorus for a natural Leslie-type response.
